Jill Blanksby, and her sister Wendy, worked at the Nottingham District Land Registry. Regards, Will2017

I remember the "pretty garden" on Cavendish Road. I also remember walking across the "Alps" and Rusher Field. I never heard the allotments being called "Robin Hood" allotments. The houses on and around the Campbell Drive were commenced in the early 1950s. Regards, Will2017

The workshop was located on Highfield Drive.

Geoff Heeley was a friend of mine at Rushcliffe TGS. We sat at the same dinner table for a few years. Geoff became a police officer in Wales but unfortunately has passed away. i was working at the same organisation as Mike Hill when he had his tragic accident. Regards, Will2017

Hi Paradiddle, thank you for the reply. I did not know Pete Mee or Graham Pearce-I attended Rushcliffe Technical Grammar School and not Cavendish SMS. My first post dated 27 January 2018 contains more info. Three of the Tykons, who went to Cavendish and were in a school group called the Cavochords, asked me to join them. We went to a music night at the school and asked a singer (who also went to Cavendish) to join. There are pics of the Tykons, Litter and Younger Generation on the playedinaband.com website. On the site there are also pictures of various groups with other former Tykons members. Ishould have posted some of the group info. on the Nottingham Bands in the 60s thread. Regards, Will

Hi Paradiddle, I was the bass player in the Tykons. I am pleased you enjoyed the Gedling Secondary Modern gig in 1964 and that it inspired you to seek out more live music. The 1960's live music scene in Nottingham was great with so many groups and venues. Regards, Will2017

My wife and I had our wedding reception at the Chateau.

Thank you for your reply AfferGorritt, I would enjoy seeing the photographs. Trivia-in a post by Karlton dated 7 February 2015 4th Carlton scouts are mentioned. Former Scout Leader Frank Maddison is my uncle. He was a drummer in the scout band. Gerald Maddison played a bugle. Unfortunately, Gerald passed away a few years ago. Regards, Will2017

I was born in Carlton and attended Westdale Lane Infants and Porchester Junior schools.Following Porchester I went to ACHS for two years while Rushcliffe Technical Grammar School was constructed. I played bass in a number of groups including the Tykons, The Younger Generation, two trios and Litter. After marrying I lived in West Bridgford, Carlton (again),Gedling, Westwood and Bingham. I then moved to Durham City in 1975 and to Australia in 1977. Being from Carlton I recognise and know/knew some of the people mentioned in various posts.
